I noticed that butterfly from the cx-7 TB is electric, not like older cars wich is pedal to wire operation. Sometimes "most of the times" I thought it was turbo lag but it was really the TB not opening as soon I hit the gas pedal. I have own 2 turbo cars and they respond very quickly before the turbo kicks in.

This engine is much better and is rare that you get that poor take off sometimes :(

Sometimes it responds very quickly.
 
The term is "Drive by wire" and is now used in many newer vehicles. I have seen many reports of a "different feel" or unusual response with drive by wire systems.
